As part of today's rally to stop the Democrats' health care reform legislation thousands of protesters descended on the lawn of Capitol building. But many more were also using the occasion to visit the their congressional representative and tell them what they think of the bill.
However, Capitol Police recently stopped allowing any of the peaceful protesters to enter into congressional buildings. Crowds are now gathering in front of the House and Senate offices, demanding that they be let in to air their constituent concerns.

They should go down there with them, and dare them to arrest!

The Brown shirts are out huh? Does anyone need any more proof that our government is out of control and that they don’t feel they have to listen to us?

Makes me wonder if that's why this administration reacted the way they did towards Honduras with Zelaya.

“So we the people cannot enter the Capitol, peacefully?”
Apparently, it is no longer the “peoples house”.

We're learning (this whole civil disobedience thang) as we go...do you think they are any entrepreneurial 60s radicals that would like to consult with us on technique? Kidding...like they would ever do that...;)

Keep telling yourselves that we will not need to resort to force. I've been advocating force for some time now. We've been left no other choice due to the stupidity of people who elected these tyrants in the first place!

In Russia and other countries communism had to conquer in a violent manner while in America it is done peacefully. I guess that the nation has been softened up enough for this takeover to take place ever since it accepted political correctness and the blessings of diversity.

Could it be because Zero is speaking and they tightened security? Just a guess. Loving seeing those crowds, would love to be there but I’m broke.

I think that only liberal protesters, who are pushing liberal causes, are allowed inside.
